It's fall!

Ella before a princess party she went to.

The weather is finally starting to feel like fall is on it's way. We had a really nice couple of days before we started to have some cold days. We even brought out the little swimming pool in the back yard. I'm looking forward to taking Ella to the pumpkin patch the first weekend in October.

Charley started a new schedule so that he gets off earlier. He is now working five 8 hour shifts instead of the four 10 hour shifts. He gets off at 4:30 which allows him to spend the evening with Ella and get her in bed at a decent hour. She has been doing better at preschool with her new schedule and getting a little more sleep than she used to.

My family and I decided to have a family dinner once a month. I think it's crazy that we all live in the same area and barely ever see each other. We will take turns hostessing and everyone will bring a dish. It should be fun!

Last Sunday at work my car was broken into. They broke the driver side window and ripped out my xm radio deck. I was pretty upset about the whole thing especially since I was able to order a replacement radio for under $10. The window alone cost me $200! Life just isn't fair sometimes!

Charley and I celebrated 10 years of being together on the 15th. I was 15 years old when we first starting dating and we have been together ever since. We are exactly how I pictured us at this point. Although I think I imagined me being done with school by now... Oh well! It's hard to look back on those days and realize how easy life was even though it seemed so hard. I miss those crazy days cruising around in the old Camaro.
